The smell of fresh sea breeze is so exhilirating ....Spring is in the air...nature is at its colourfull best.
Few days back I was so happy to see a sparrows nest on the hibiscus bush in our compound.
Sparrows were abundant once upon a time...... but now they are very bravely trying to survive
in the sea of bulidings and traffic...I remember when i was small these tiny chirpy birds were every where..they used to wake us up with their lively song...and the trees around our home used have so many nests hanging during spring..It was fun watching them collect dry grass . twigs. and
soft cotton..to make their nest warm and cosy....they were so hardworking and in the begining of nesting the tiny bits of grass and twigs would blow away with the wind..but they would start again,and again till it was perfect and safe...It had a lesson for us..never give up, keep trying till you are sucessfull. Coming back to the sparrows nest ....I wanted my litlle daughter to see and observe
and enjoy the experience...since the nest was on side of the wall facing the road...i was hoping that
by moving the branches of tree a bit the nest would be less exposed to the elements and to traffic....
but then before I could do anything the nest which was half done had somehow fallen of the branch...into the drain below.. I was very dissapointed and hoped the little sparrow found a much better tree somewhere to build its nest...and i hope their would be lots of sparrows chirping happily everywhere...
